Adverse childhood experiences, obesity, and endometrial cancer: A case series and scoping review.
Article in Gynecologic oncology reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveTo evaluate self-reported adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) in patients with endometrial cancer and class 3 obesity undergoing a preoperative weight loss protocol, and summarize the existing literature surrounding ACEs, endometrial cancer, and obesity.
methodsWe performed a retrospective chart review of 92 gynecologic oncology patients enrolled in a preoperative weight loss program from 2020 to 2022. Patients included in the case series had endometrioid carcinoma or atypical endometrial hyperplasia, class 3 obesity (body mass index ≥ 40 kg/m
resultsSeventeen of 92 patients (18.5%) with class 3 obesity and endometrial cancer self-disclosed a history of ACEs. The most frequent ACE types were psychological abuse (7/15, 15 46.7%), sexual abuse (6/15, 40%), and physical abuse (4/15, 26.7%). Patients had a mean of 6.4 ± 2.5 comorbidities, with 13/17 (76.5%) patients having at least one mental health disorder. The scoping review identified three studies that investigated ACEs in endometrial cancer patients and found that ACEs may negatively impact gynecologic care. Various ACE types are linked to obesity, with a stronger association between ACEs and obesity in women versus men.
conclusionPatients with endometrial cancer, class 3 obesity, and ACEs in our study reported a high degree of abuse and medical comorbidities. ACEs appear to increase the risk of endometrial cancer via obesity and complicate patient care, but a formal association cannot be established.
